Topic: STILL running VWS after all thee years - anyone figured out the YYYYMMDD.BIN?

[longmire]

I continue to run VWS after many years, and until windows did an unscheduled update reboot all was fine. but this dirty reboot corrupted the setup/summary*/*.BIN files and all het was introduced into the yearly, monthly and daily records for 6/19/2023. I deleted the 2312.bin the 20231231.bin and the 202312.bin files, and restarted VWS. But the bad extremes(e.g. low temp of 0F on a day that never got lower than 82). I know how to delete a single bad record from the database, and how to change daily database records, but somewhere there remains a bad bit of data in a bin file.so I'd love to figureout what program would open them for editing.

I am also continuing to keep VWS running, though not reliant on it's data, like in the old days 

Underneath \VWS\SETUP\SUMMARY are BIN files that contain it's yearly, monthly and daily summaries in filenames of yyyy.bin,  yyyy_mm.bin and yyyy_mm_dd.bin respectively. I can modify them by using "Settings", "Recall Daily, Monthly and Yearly Archive" and selecting any of the yearly, monthly, or daily bin files ...

Does that point you in a direction?

Still running VWS here too along with other weather software (thanks to VVPro). A WiFiLogger in an Envoy feeds VWS on the weather computer while an Envoy with serial logger feeds VVPro on the same computer. I like the drag and drop customizable display. The only other one like it was WeatherView 32 but the owner Dave Heider (sp?) recently announced he was temporarily shutting down.
